DIR. O. 'sTRANDER's SPECTACULAR Ex-
HIBITIoN ON SATURDAY EVENING.
The spacious auditorium of the Chau-
taulua building at Long Beach was
well filed half hour before the time
for the lecture of that prince of Bible
lecturers, Rev. O'Strander, d. d.,
who has for the past two weeks en-
deared himself to every one that has
heard him. Promptly on time he ap-
peared in the miniature model of the
tabernacle. Ladies and gentlemen,
bible students, feeders of the flock of
God. We propose to take you to-
night to the wilderness of Elrahn,
near to Sinai They have journeyed
eleven days in the wilderness. Moses
has assembled the second, or third
time, into Mt. Sinai. God commands
him to build the tabernacle. Free
will offerings were called for, of wood,
gold, brass, etc., 80 we see Moses
coming down from the Mount. So
bright was his face that they could
not look upon it.
AT this juncture an Arab stepped on
the platform, wearing veil supposed
to be similar to the one worn by Mo-
ses
You must remember that the tribe
of Levi was chosen for priests. Now
a representative of Aaron appears,
dressed as described in Exodus 28th
chapter, LIST to 39th verses, inclusive.
His garments had bells and pomegran-
ties on the hem of the robe. This
was to inform the worshipers that he
had obeyed the commands of God,
and was performing the ceremonies
before the Shekinah. Here appear
the sons of Levi in their sacerdotal
dress, which he explained. An ex-
ample is given to show how the sin of
the penitents is placed on the head of
sacrifices by laying on the hands of
the high priest, then those Of the
otner priests. Hc explained how they |
cast lots to select the one to take the
different functions of the ceremonies |
of the day. At sunrise the priests
stood in row and held up their hands
and counted twelve, and the twelfth |
man was to take away the ashes, OF
care for the lamps, or to offer
sacrifices. Then by gesture he dis
missed his attendants.
In the description of the tabernacle,
he said: II must begin at the outer
courts. The bible begins with the
Holy of Holies."
First, he spoke Of the pillars resting |
in their sockets, representing the |
members of the Christian Church,
upright holding up the banner Of
purity. The curtains at the outer
gate were to be purple and blue, of
fine twined linen. Just inside of the |
gate was the sacriicial altar, this was
sixteen times larger than any of the
other vessels in the temple. l can
not understand how some people dare
ignore the sacrifices of Jesus Christ. |
None could come except he realized
he was sinner, and was in need of
the sacrifice that was to be made.
On this altar was to be offered five
different objects. First, sin offer
ing; second, trespass offer
ing; third, whole burnt offerings;
fourth, peace offerings; fifth, thanks
givings. There was to be offered:
First, the bullocks; second, lambs;
third, goats; fourth, pigeons; fifth,
-four. You can not pass on further in
the temple until the proper sacrifice
is made. Neither can you enter the
harem prepared for all until you ac-
knowledge the atonement OF Christ.
In his representation of the Holy of
Holes he first showed blue badger
skin, then a red goat skin. Under
these was beautiful curtain, with
figures OF Cherubim on it. This, he
said, again represented Christ cover
ing the world. While redemp-
ton was universal, yet it was
only for believers. Taking each
of the different vessels he
infinitely desert bed them. He said
in conclusion, have kept you too
long. / know much more might be
said in explanation of that which rep
resents Christ. If you or l had not
the benefits of the Old Testament it
would be dark to us. Turn to Exodus
25th to Both chapters, where you will
find it fully explained. o! how much
we owe to the old, which has brought
us to the light. We may look upward
and, "We have building OF God
not made with hands eternal in the
